Parenthood - I Don't Want to Do This Without You

We are back with the Braverman family for a third year.  Who would have thought that a series following the relatively normal lives of an extended family would be so successful?  Luckily they have some great writers and some wonderful actors to portray the characters, though some characters hardly see the light of day and others are just terribly selfish people.If you recall, at the end of last season, Adam had lost his job and found out that his wife, Kristina, is pregnant!  Crosby wants to fulfil a lifetime dream of opening his own recording studio and tries to get Adam to be his partner, but Adam is desperately trying to find a job to pay the bills.  He eventually gets an interview as a soft drink distributor and has to seriously consider taking the job (a huge step down) or risking everything and going into business with his brother.
Meanwhile, Haddie goes to a party and gets drunk and Alex arrives to pick her up.  He does not want to be near alcohol and everyone around him is drunk.  Haddie starts acting stupid (as she does) and when another drunk teen (the house owner's son) thinks he's doing the right thing and intervening, Alex ends up punching him and then gets taken away by the cops, and it is all Haddie's fault!  Stupid bitch.  Man I hate her character.  Alex sees Julia for legal advice and reveals he has a criminal record for violence and could easily go to jail. All the years of hard work to change his life could be thrown away due to the selfish actions of a petulant school girl.
